Tenants generally pay 30% of their adjusted income toward rent or a public housing agency minimum rent — which is capped at $50 a month for the poorest families. The administration’s proposal sets the family monthly rent contribution at 35% of gross income, or 35% of their earnings working 15 hours a week at the federal minimum wage. Under the proposal, the cap for the poorest families would rise to about $150 a month, affecting about 175,000 families currently paying the minimum rent, HUD officials said.
